Chapter 598 The Farmer and the Snake
When the outside world was hyped about the Champions League draw, the Notts County players also ended their two-day vacation and returned to team training to prepare for the upcoming final sprint.

Every Notts County player who came to the training base was attacked by reporters with long guns and short cannons. They asked what they thought about the result of the draw. If there was no response from the Notts County players, then all the hype was just shaving their heads. It's hot.

Perhaps it was because the promotion to the top 8 made the players feel good, or maybe it was the two-day holiday that relieved the players' tired bodies and minds. Facing the reporters' questions, the Notts County players seemed very patient.

"Juventus is a top European team. Being able to play against such a giant team will make our hearts boil. I believe we will be able to defeat our opponents. Our goal is to be the champion!"

"Maybe you should ask the Juventus stars how they feel. For us, we don't care who the opponent is. No matter how strong Juventus is, it is not the reason why they can stop us from moving forward!"

"I don't think there is anything tricky about the lottery. It's a matter of probability theory. Anyone can be drawn, and I think it's our opponents who are more panicked!"

When answering the questions, the players looked full of high spirits and confidence. Their achievements in the past two seasons gave them the confidence to face any giant team, and most of them agreed with Juventus played against each other in the warm-up match, and they still have a certain understanding of the strength of the old woman. Notts County's style of play really restrained Juventus.

The reporters got satisfactory answers, and after going back, they concocted and processed them, and beautiful articles were freshly released.

"Notts County defy Juventus!"

"The magpie speaks loudly and wants to win the championship!"

"Alonso: It's the opponent who should be afraid!"

These articles describe Notts County as a rejoicing image. Everyone looks down on Juventus as an opponent, and it seems that victory is at hand.

When these articles reached the ears of Italian journalists, Italians were outraged.

The strength of Serie A this season has been very obvious. The top three in the north of Serie A collectively broke into the top eight. This is a grand event that has not happened in many seasons. Looking forward to the two Serie A teams meeting in the final and recreating the glory of the 02-03 season!

In the eyes of the Italian media, especially the Turin media, Notts County is still just a strong team without foundation, like duckweed without roots. Perhaps with the support of funds, there will be a few seasons of good results, but this This kind of outstanding performance simply cannot last long, and it will soon fall like a meteor.

You know, such examples are not uncommon. In Italian football, there is Parma nearby. Last season, Parma was able to qualify for the UEFA Cup, but this season it has fallen into the relegation zone and cannot extricate itself. There is a certain wealth background too!
In England, there is also such a team. In the past few seasons, the youth guard White Rose Leeds United once broke into the semi-finals of the Champions League, but now, isn't it still sinking in the British Championship!

Regardless of the fact that Notts County now has the funds to guarantee their results, but they will never be able to get on the table. In such an important event as the Champions League, the rich background and the Champions League genes can often determine who is the winner. Notts County’s Champions League team The new army's ability to break into the top eight is already a merit of their ancestors.

For the Turin media, Notts County's statement is more like the role of the snake in the story of the farmer and the snake.

Although Notts County and Juventus have a long-standing traditional friendship, and Juventus' jerseys have the same origin as Notts County's jerseys, it does not mean that Juventus will ask for anything from Notts County.

At the beginning of the rise of Notts County, when even a real warm-up opponent could not be found, it was Juventus who condescended to play a warm-up match with Notts County in consideration of the traditional friendship. This is already a great favor.

However, after Notts County has gradually moved to a higher level, it seems a little ungrateful and has completely forgotten the traditional friendship between the two teams. Otherwise, how could it be possible to say such arrogant words and completely ignore Juventus? Woolen cloth?

The Italian media kept writing articles to refute Notts County, and Italian fans were also led by public opinion to fight against each other. In this general environment, Juventus players also resented Notts County’s "ungrateful" .

Del Piero: I think this draw is very good. All the top eight teams hope to draw a big opponent, and I am very fortunate that our Juventus drew the weakest one.

Nedved: No matter how good the words are, it is not as good as actually playing a good game. Juventus will try their best to win this game and regain the glory of the giants.

Trezeguet: My feet and the top of my head are already hungry. I want to use goals to destroy the weak defense of Notts County and let them know what the real top giants are.

With the help of the media, the two teams seemed to be fighting a war of words in the distance, but in fact, Notts County was calm inside, and they who were used to dealing with the media knew that this might be due to the increase of the media. Notts County still have two league games to play before the first round against Juventus. How can Notts County play for the league championship? Can you be careless?
On March 3th, Notts County will face the poor Newcastle at home after a week of rest;
After this game, it is an international match day.

On April 4, the players returning from the national team will regroup to play Fulham away;
On April 4, that is, three days later, it will be the first round of the Champions League against Juventus. Notts County will sit at home to welcome the challenge of the Serie A giants;

On the following April 4th, there was another league game that followed, and Notts County played against Charlton at home;

After that, on April 4, Notts County will move to Turin to compete with Juventus in the second round of the Champions League.

The schedule is considered tight, but compared with the previous devil's schedule, except for Juventus, the rest of the opponents are not strong. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to pose a particularly big threat to Notts County, so complaints are complaints, but compared to before Much better.

Even with the rotation, Notts County can be more handy, the main game against Newcastle, and then the international break. Most of the players in Notts County's rotation have not been called up by the national team. The next game against Fulham will naturally have them At home, and at the same time, the main players can also accumulate physical fitness to prepare for Juventus
